Is the photovoltaic industry still a pipe dream?

On the European level, widespread use of PV systems with smart power storage and energy management is still a pipe dream. A small segment of the photovoltaics industry is enjoying increased demand, even if the cause is nothing to celebrate.

How do solar companies help the photovoltaic industry?

Solar companies help the photovoltaic industry by maintaining and increasing the contribution made by existing solar systems to the electricity mix. They achieve this through repair, optimization, and maintenance services, which also confirm general confidence in the reliability of solar technology.

What is the typical power output of a photovoltaic module?

Modules typically featuring 60 cells, standard aluminum frames, white backsheets, and 275 to 325 Wp. Martin Schachinger has been active in the field of photovoltaics and renewable energy for more than 20 years.

What is the demand for small PV arrays with storage systems?

There is good demand for small PV arrays with storage systems, and profits are steadily rising in the segment. Although there is good demand for small PV arrays with storage systems, and profits are steadily rising in the segment, this can hardly be called a boom.

Are photovoltaic module prices stagnating?

While module prices for non-EU projects are in the lower 40 eurocent range, prices within the European Union are stagnating just above the 50 eurocent mark.

Where do PV modules go if a manufacturer doesn't get a supply contract?

Currently, hardly a manufacturer sends its containers filled with PV modules to Hamburg, Rotterdam, or Antwerp without having received a supply contract first. All freely available goods that have been deposited in the past few months at least sporadically in European interim storage facilities have been sold off.
